Beey: Whom does the Pope & the priests confess their sins to?

Okija_juju: @Pope: In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti... Amen
Father, Forgive me cos I'm about to sin..
I just found out that my fiancee is still #Following her ex-boyfriend on Twitter.
I intend to bitchslap the living daylight out of her.
Please forgive me..

_{@Pope replys @Okija_juju:Its cool my son.. If I had a wife or a Babe and she did the same thing to me, Heaven knows I would be twitting Jesus for forgiveness.
When you finish smacking her, retweet your prayers or just inbox me for your forgiveness..
Then retweet 3 Hail Marys and our lords prayers whilst you are at it just for seriousness..
Go with the gods Okija!!}

@Okija rplies @Pope: Thank you father.. You are just too cool.. I will make sure my babe and kids also follow you on twitter.

of Course Jesus washed our sins with His precious blood and He is our only God and saviour.
But Read John 20:21-23.
Bless you.

My dear It does exist and the earlier u start realizing dat tHe better for u

lacum: but why are human beings like this? pls nairalanders, d headline is misleading. this must have been written by a non catholic to discrdit d church. indulgence does not mean forgiveness of sin but d forgivenes of d punishment due to sin. confession cannot be done online and will never be. pls read d article carefully and u will notice where it was said dat people will receive a plenary indulgence only when they follow d peogramme prayerfully and must have confessed their since to a priest. tks

You too, still haven't got it - have you?

Imagine you trying to make us believe the writer is non-Catholic therefore, did not mean or understand what he wrote.

And, you who is a devout Catholic - you lack Scriptural knowledge as well, due to what you have been fed by Priest who had no clue of the Scriptures themselves - why?

Because you failed to read your Bible everyday to know, learn and understand the 'Word' and 'Will' of God for us.

Imagine you, implying or should I say writing to say - we must make our confession to 'a Priest' a man! How ridiculous!

You confess to God (no one else!) and repent from your sins and never to go back to it again. As soon as you do so, Jesus forgives you, ok!! Have you problem grasping that?

Therefore, you don't confess your sin to man 'Priests' - you don't because, the Priest himself is a sinner too, and remember the Bible tells us that 'There is none Righteous,no, not one! Romans Chpt. 3 v.10. And, if there is none Righteous, that includes the Priest who you confess to...as the whole World have sinned and fell short of the glory God'

Therefore understand this, just as we believe that God is a Spirit and he sees and knows all things and is every where and with that assurance, we can make our prayers anytime, anywhere - on land, on air, in the sea in our private rooms, in the Congregation of our Churches, when we are driving, cooking, eating, or doing anything that is of God, in the same manner, we can CONFESS our sins as we pray to the Father God in Heaven and to Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour there and then - no need to go to the PRIEST to do just that.

Now, may I ask Catholics this, but who does the Priest confess his own sins to...? Or is he without sin? Is it not to the Father God in Heaven and Jesus Christ our Saviour? Then, what's stopping you from doing so, than going to the Priest to make your confession?

Therefore, may I say this to the writer - please, stop poisoning minds further with the little knowledge you have of the Scriptures because, you too don't know/understand the 'Word' yourself otherwise, you wouldn't have made this error in suggesting we go to the Priest for our confession.

Afam4eva:
You're permitted.

@topic
Why can't people pray to God direct.

Theblessed: [size=16pt]In fact this makes my blood boil!

When will Catholics get their heads together - learn and understand that no one can forgive 'sins' except "The Lord, JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY SON OF GOD" Our Saviour and Redeemer.

Only Jesus can save and forgive sins!

He redeemed us with his precious blood thus, forgiving our sin - so where does Pope Francis come into this, to be able to forgive sins?

Catholics, please hear this now, you should wake up and smell the coffee - 'The Truth'

Only Jesus can Save,Redeems and forgives our multitudes of sins,no one else, gorit?

Stop distorting the truth of God by deceiving and deluding yourselves with false hope!

Pope Francis is a holy man of God - he is not not Jesus Christ rather, he is a servant of Jesus Christ and a servant can not forgive sins nor save the flock - get it and get it now!! [/size]

Lovebond34: . Yes u can...bt nt 2 loud cox d pope might hear you

Tolexander: you could have told us where it is found in the scripture!

Beey: Whom does the Pope & the priests confess their sins to?

owolabifunke14: Yes, catholic and anglican churches are in support of gay and pope as the head of the church is not saying anything.

mascot87: JOhn 20:23 says (after d resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and d disciple s of Christ were in d upper room, 21 says then said Jesus to them i.e the disciples,peace be unto you:as my father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 and when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, recieve ye the holy spirit 23:whose soever sins ye remit,they are remitted unto them;and whose soever sins ye retain,they are retained.) The priests,bishop and pope are d representatives of Christ disciples on earth and this obligations has been assigned to them to continue the laid down instruction of Christ.The church picks the act of confession from john 20:23 since Christ himself gave them the authority. The mysterious part of it is the the priests, bishops or pope cannot forgive themselves of there sins, they have to go to other priests for confession.Remember that the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is passed on from generation to generation and no ONE nor the power from the pit of hell can stop it.
